I've used a Rolei tripod for years, very similar to the K&F here. Unfortunately it was recently stolen from me. Luckily I had a replacement with the K&F Concept. So it was first used involuntarily, but it can do everything that my Rolei, which is more than twice as expensive, can do at least as well. I was impressed by the handling, the quality of the thread and telescopic rods as well as all the joints. With the red applications, it is of course also very attractive optically, quite on par with my Rolei. I like to use the monopod and it is used again and again, e.g. when visiting the zoo, if you don’t necessarily want to and can’t set up the whole tripod . It is also very positive that it is extremely compact and, if necessary, also has space in a larger backpack when it is completely folded up. My Rolei was only slightly more compact. I was able to align the tripod very well even on very uneven ground and attach it stably without any problems. My camera was securely attached at all times. All in all, the K&F probably could have cost €150, or almost €200 like my previous Rolei. In any case, it's in this league for me. Of course, Rolei and co are rather overpriced. So it's good that there are inexpensive and just as good alternatives, such as these from K&F Concept. I am convinced.5 stars unreservedly. In any case, it's in this league for me.
